What is it about beauty that we all love so much?  For me, it's the opportunity to indulge in something  luxurious and pamper myself in some way each day.  From big beauty buys to little luxuries, the options are endless and the payoffs, pretty and plentiful.  Even on my busiest days, I know that if I can reach for even just one thing to accomplish a little self-care, my day is that much better.  Do that everyday and you'll be absolutely in love with the results both big and small.  If I can only get to one beauty fave on any given day, this tiny tool is by far THE most powerful game changer of them all.  Microneedling has become the most effective way to create noticeable changes in your skin and the performance of your favorite products right there at home.  There are a lot of gimmicks out there though (which can potentially damage or harm your delicate facial skin) which makes it so very important to choose the proper tool and to be sure you're using a reputable brand.  This one is exactly that.  I love how gently it rolls and imparts only the slightest little tingle as it gently allows for skin regeneration, collagen production and the beautiful efficacy of the skincare I follow up with, as my serums and creams so noticeably absorb into my skin, each working so much more dramatically.  This exfoliating treatment is amazing at smoothing all skin types without harshness or redness.  It has a cult following which is no surprise.  One use and trust me, you'll be hooked.  I'm also really loving this vitamin C serum which is a new one for me but I can already notice my skin responding favorably with that naturally rosy glow we all covet. Haircare is another beauty ritual that can bring so much satisfaction to a beauty aficionado like me.   The right products for your hair type can easily impart color protection, fullness and shine.  The miracle in a bottle is a total gloss getter and something I highly recommend. Add a few bouncy curls with this iconic twirler and maintain it all with a high-quality shampoo.

All this beauty talk has me wanting to restock my stash while maybe adding few new items to the mix.  What are your current craves and must-haves?  I'd love to hear what works for you!  Have a great day, beautiful!

It's no secret that clean beauty is now a thing.  It's so much more than just a simple trend, however.  With so much attention and emphasis being placed upon wellness and optimal health, it's not surprising to see skincare and beauty brand falling into line.  Personally, I can tell you I'm loving it.  

The more I shop for skincare, the more options there seems to be for tightening, toning, clarifying and adding overall radiance to our skin.  And while I find this to be fantastic, I know a lot of us can also feel overwhelmed by soooo many terrific options.  That's why I wanted to take a moment to share my latest clean beauty faves that so many of you have requested. 

If we look at skincare simply, there are some basic goals we all need to achieve.  These would be to cleanse, tone, balance, exfoliate, protect and hydrate.  I know, it sounds like a lot, but trust me, it really is easy to pair down and the results are beyond worth it!

My favorite way to cleanse is with a splash of micellar water to start.  It breaks down my makeup and  protects the fragile pH level of our skin.  Next I remove the day with a creamy cleansing balm or a dollop of coconut oil (which is very inexpensive and what I find works best!).  If your oil-proned you can substitute with a deeper cleansing cream. I love this one.

Toners are so nice after a wash and have really improved the overall functioning of my skin.  While I know the name sounds harsh but a great toner will effortlessly rebalance your skin's pH to banish dryness and keep oiliness in check. An extra step I like to throw in is to pat in an essence.  This one leaves my skin super soft and hydrated and ready to accept whatever I put on next.  

A great moisturizer is a must and those that multitask are even better.  This Biossance version contains both squalene and probiotic which means your skin recieves ultra nourishment and the optimal form of hydration.  If a face oil is more your thing this one is my all time favorite!

Hair gets in on the clean beauty game too with an amazing number of options for treating your tresses gently from wash to style.  I've been using a co-wash in place of traditional shampoo for a while now and have never been happier.  Unlike shampoo, these gentler methods remove product and impurities without striping your hair of its natural, necessary oils.  

If you're interested in trying out some of these beautiful products, I've linked them in the thumbnails below for you.  And, if you have any clean beauty favorites that you are obsessed with I'd love to know!  Thanks for stopping by beautiful friends...Have a great weekend everyone!
